The Civil Wars

Today, I'm starting a new project. I'm going to post one thing that I love every single day. It may not be something new or particularly interesting, but it will be something. It may be a song, a picture, a video, an idea, a poem, anything. But I will post at least once a day. Every day. Some days it may be as simple as a picture with no words, other times I may do something more extensive. But it starts tonight.

Today, I Love...

"Poison & Wine" by The Civil Wars. Both the song and the video. Just beautiful. And sad.

Music for Valentine's Day.... Enjoy.

I *Heart* It

Lately, I've been sharing websites that I love. So to continue that, here's one that I absolutely *heart*.
weheartit.com allows you to bookmark images from any site using a button you can add to your browser's toolbar. And from the dashboard you can see images that other people have "hearted." It's incredibly simple to use and is SO GREAT for keeping up with ideas and images you love. You can even follow other people so that you can just see your friends' 'hearts'

Here are a few of my favorite images lately from "my heart" that are semi-Valentine-y:


Have fun hearting your heart out!

TOMS: Shoes Saving Lives

Right before all the college bowl games this year (I'm talkin' football here, people), Chris and I made a bet. We devised a point system and a rather large and elaborate Excel spreadsheet and then we made our picks. The winner received a prize of their choosing, worth about $50-$60. And miraculously, I won. It was pure luck, I assure you. What I chose for my prize was this:

Gold Glitter TOMS. TOMS isn't just another shoe company, though. For every single pair of TOMS Shoes purchased, a pair of shoes is donated to a child in need who has no shoes. One for One.

It's kind of awesome to know that when you wear your TOMS, a kid that didn't have shoes before has some now because of you. And it's a pretty sweet deal, I get shiny gold shoes and so does somebody else!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Or as my Dad calls it, TerraSwine Day.

And according to CNN and Punxsutawney Phil, there will be six more weeks of winter. Here in Statesboro, that's just "slightly chilly" weather as we don't actually get seasons here.
